Honda will introduce an all-electric subcompact SUV in Europe next year as part of its electrified vehicle range expansion. The car, dubbed the Honda e:Ny1 Prototype, will form the core of Honda's future offerings in Europe.
In the pictures of the e:Ny1 Prototype, it's easy to tell that we're looking at Honda's battery-electric version of the HR-V. The battery-electric HR-V will be available in China this spring on Honda's two joint ventures, the e:NS1 (Dongfeng Honda) and e:NP1 (GAC Honda).
This electric crossover has a 68.8-kWh battery pack that powers a 150 kW (201 hp) front-mounted electric motor. According to testing by China's CLTC, the Honda e:NS1/e:NP1 can cover up to 510 kilometres on a full battery charge and has a top speed of 150 km/h.

The European-spec model is still to be revealed if the same drivetrain will be used. Additionally, Honda is expected to announce the production location of the e:Ny1, with China appearing to be the most likely choice.
Honda's Electric Vision event not only saw the unveil of the #allnewCivic e:HEV, but the announcement of three all-new electrified models.

As of now, Honda is planning to launch the City Hybrid in India within the next few months, and it could become the country's most fuel-efficient petrol vehicle thanks to its hybrid powertrain.
